Biography
Tawfiq was born on 30 May 1074 to a family of Nestorian Christian Levantines, and he became a commander of the Abbasid Caliphate. Tawfiq commanded Abbasid troops in Jaffa during the jihad for Jerusalem after 1099, but his fellow Christian ruler Godfrey de Bouillon sent him a monetary gift and made him have a positive opinion of him. Godfrey invited Tawfiq to his court, and on 29 January 1101 he agreed.
